The IOWA Foundation

Our ride is dedicated to supporting The IOWA (Impactful Opportunities With Athletes) Foundation, an organization committed to eliminating barriers in youth sports and education across Iowa. The IOWA Foundation partners with athletes to give back to communities by providing equipment, scholarships, hosting events, and collaborating with other nonprofits to use sports and education as tools for youth development. They believe every child should have access and equity in their sport and education, and they work tirelessly to make this vision a reality.

Some of the impactful initiatives by The IOWA Foundation include:

Camps & Clinics: Hosting free youth sports clinics in partnership with organizations like the We Will Collective, TnT Football Camp and Des Moines Parks & Rec providing opportunities for youth to learn from college and professional athletes.

Equipment Donations: Supplying essential sports equipment such as soccer balls, baseball gloves, and wrestling gear to young athletes facing financial barriers.

Coaching Authorizations: Offering scholarships to cover the cost of Coaching Authorizations in Iowa, ensuring that passionate individuals can lead and mentor young athletes.

By supporting our RAGBRAI journey, you're contributing to The IOWA Foundation's mission to create impactful opportunities for young athletes and students across the state. Your donation will help provide resources, funding, and opportunities that empower the next generation to overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams.
